Like any other innovative development, the nineteenth- and twentieth- century genre to be called "blues" was the result of a chain of determinants linked by cause and effect that can be traced to various other times and places.There is no such thing therefore as the "roots" of the blues, but the American blues were a logical development that resulted from specific processes of cultural interaction among eighteenth ­ to nineteenth century African descendants in the United States, under certain economic and social conditions. However the outcome of the blues must have had some "influence from Africa" and vice versa, the blues has "influenced" musicians from the African continent.The history of the blues is more than a musical chronology. The blues was born the day the slave trade began in West Africa. It was raised amid the institutionalized savagery of the Deep South and flourished in the dark heart of America's largest cities.

Along with a number of collaborations of Americans and Africans which exemplifies how blues has become a world wide genre .
